A central air conditioning unit  is a split system unit that uses a air handler(indoor unit) and a condenser(outdoor unit).  It uses a duct system to move air through the supply and return grilles in the building.

Heat Pumps Split System

 Heat pump units are uniquely designed to accommodate both warm and cool temperatures. During the summer months, this system operates by removing hot air inside your home and pumps it outside. In winter months, heat pumps extract warm air from outside in order to heat the home. Due to the design of this system, heat pumps are typically a good choice for areas that do not experience freezing temperatures for long durations of time. 

 Heat pumps offer the highest efficiency heating and cooling available in central ducted systems. With the addition of an electric heat strip or in dual fuel setup, heat pumps make great choices for all regions – even areas that experience the harshest winters. In a dual fuel configuration, the heat pump provides energy-efficient heating and cooling the majority of the year. A small fuel furnace is used only on the coldest days. 

Gas Furnace 

 Gas furnace systems bundle together a condenser, fan coil and gas furnace. This space-saving design provides high heat in the winter and cool comfort in the summer. 

 A furnace generates heat in a traditional way by burning oil or natural gas and sending the resulting heat into the home. Furnaces can also be powered by electricity. Heat pumps don't generate heat from a fuel source. Instead, they use electricity and refrigerant to transfer heat from outdoor air to the inside. 

 Which is better a heat pump or gas furnace?

Heat pumps are generally more efficient than gas furnaces, but their efficiency may be affected by colder temperatures. The cost to completely replace a central heating system should also be taken into consideration when deciding whether to switch to a heat pump. 

 Is it cheaper to run a heat pump or gas furnace?

What is cheaper to run—heat pump or gas furnace? Heat pumps are often cheaper to run than gas furnaces, but this often depends on energy costs in your state. Overall, heat pumps are up to 3x more efficient than traditional heating, like gas furnaces, so they do use less energy to produce the same amount of heat ac air conditioning installation new braunfels kyle buda austin san antonio san marcos area
